and they're waiting for president obama. every now and then something will be flashed on a screen, a referendum result, a senate campaign, another state being projected for the president. and as with now, they're seeing virginia being projected for obama, and a big cheer is going up. but for most of the last hour, it's just been ear-splitting oldies, a very quiet crowd, and not much to do or not much to talk about. for a time, the crowd was paying such attention to what was going up on the monitors that's even when a line would be posted, "obama expected to address chicago crowd," everybody would cheer and then nothing would happen. so right now, we're in a weird state of limbo. every now and then there's a big pan of the headquarters in boston, with no one on the stage, and nothing happening there. and then nothing happens here. so for the last hour, pretty much status quo. >> woodruff: ray, where is the president right now? >> suarez: he's said to be in the building. we've been warned not to try to leave this room, that it

i don't think obama had a communications issue. he just used big government a lot and i don't think americans believe in big government so i think it was a substance issue and to me the next president has to take issues out of column a of the republican side and say some of their debt ideas are right, some of the regulatory ideas are right and take issues out of column b, the democratic side and say a lot of their issues on inequality are right and i'm going to take out of both sides and that would confuse everybody but most people in the country, even the tweeting and the blogging, they would say "interesting." >> i thought they were far too promiscuous in how they used the president as a speech maker. especially in 2010. they had anymore the backyards in new mexico. they thought he had a magic about him that predated him taking office with the campaign and it just wasn't having an impact anymore because people see so much all day everyday. it's not unique. there was a time-- and i've been in this business a long time-- the presid

and you hear president obama talk about that in the campaign trail. these are the final days, of my final campaign. you begin to look ahead not to, every first term president wants the same thing, a second term. every second term president is thinking about one thing, and that's their legacy. what are they going to leave behind when they are done, what will history say about them? so the minute you've won that second term, instead of relief, i think you begin to start thinking about the judge that will be even harsher than the voters, come four years hence. and you realize that the clock is ticking so fast. somebody told me yesterday that a second term president has fourteen good months at the beginning of his term. and fourteen good months at the end, and the middle is a mush. and i have to figure out how to use that to achieve something that's meaningful. >> i've been struck recently, in the last four or five presidential campaigns, how it's become kind of de rigueur standard to promise the voters who you are running for the first time what you will
